Hi CONF iture

The only similarity between the accident reports for Habsheim http://www.bea.aero/docspa/1988/f-kc...f-kc880626.pdf and AF744 is that both have the CVR transcript & Flight Data.

Page 35.
The aircraft is at 30 radio,
At 12:46:34 the CVR picks up the sound of the TLs going through 3 clicks to TOGA.
At 12:46:37 the Co-pilot reads the FMA "TOGA SRS"
At 12:46:39 the sound of impact with the trees.
At 12:46:39 the Captain says "M....!" (code for merde?)
At 12:46:41 Fin.

I believe the agreed display was a fly past at a height of 500 ft.
At 30 ft radio, with thrust at flight idle, speed back to Alpha Protect and below, don't you think the application of power just 5 seconds before impact with the trees is leaving it just a tad too late?
